What Annoyed the Internet This Week?

We’ve all known for a while that Lewis Hamilton can be a bit of a b**p. That’s why it’s completely unsurprising that he has been called out for shaming his young nephew over a certain Christmas present.
Oh dear Lewis. You’ve just opened a can of worms… pic.twitter.com/fpsiNeOZrd

The video shows the four-time Formula One World Champion having words with his nephew who looks delighted with his new dress. Hamilton asks, “Why are you wearing a princess dress? Is this what you got for Christmas? Why did you ask for a princess dress for Christmas, boys don’t wear Christmas dresses!”
It’s strange that a grown man would be upset by such a harmless gift that clearly delighted the little boy. What is it that Hamilton is worried about? Is he concerned for the child’s future sexuality or gender identity? Does he believe that boys should always put on a masculine front? His reaction to the dress indicates that he believes young boys should try to display masculinity despite their interests.
Then again, the boy doesn’t seem to be too affected by his uncle’s words. He merely grins and wanders away. Is it just a bit of harmless banter? Here’s what the Internet thought:

Curtis points out that kids are a lot more resilient than we perhaps give them credit for.
Did Lewis Hamilton apologise because he actually now believes it’s completely normal for toddlers to be “gender fluid” or did he apologise to appease a minority of noisy, hectoring dimwits?

We all know Hamilton just apologised because his Twitter mentions would have been flooded with hate from the so-called “noisy, hectoring dimwits”.

Savage.
If wearing a dress makes your nephew happy @LewisHamilton what’s the problem? Why humilate him? He’s happy and not causing anyone any trouble. I was shamed like this throughout my childhood and wish people would just chill the hell out about gender and focus on stuff that matters
